Indiana Pacers guard Lance Stephenson received a warning for violating the league's anti-flopping rule during the team's game against Toronto on Jan. 7.

On the play, Stephenson was going after a defensive rebound, drew slight contact from Toronto's Kyle Lowry, threw his hands up in the air and eventually ended up on the floor. He drew a foul, giving the Pacers possession of the ball, which would have gone out of bounds off Stephenson without the call.

According to a video the league released a flop is the result of "the level of contact (being) inconsistent with (a) grossly embelished fall to the floor."

A second violation will bring a $5,000 fine, a third $10,000, fourth $15,000 and fifth $30,000. A sixth violation could lead to a suspension.
